Everyone I know in retail small business hate their Coke rep. I hated my Coke rep when I had my restaurant. They're pushy and they act as if they're doing you a favor by letting you buy Coke products through them. End of the quarter they try to make you double order so they can meet their sales quota. Coke loves to raise prices.

pepsi however wins almost every taste contest.

Oh PULLLLL-EASE!

So.. you know for a fact that people say they prefer Coke over Pepsi because it's a bigger name, eh? Has nothing to do with Coke simply tasting better to them? Yes, Coke IS the bigger name and the most recognized brand in the world, but they've also been around wayyy longer then Pepsi. Their formula has also been more refined and perfected throughout the years, Pepsi still tastes like fermented sugar water mixed with black food coloring to me.

LOL @ Pepsi winning "almost every" taste test too, I won't even touch that one as the insinuation is absurd enough without official statistics. I will however say that almost every poll thread I see on ATOT based on Coke vs. Pepsi has Coke annihilating Pepsi least 80% of the time.
